Lol, some guys network on here, secret society might be stretching it a bit.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some ex-Skull n Bones on here... hahaha who are we kidding, they don't need to go into IB, they're already set :-p

This society doesnt sound all that secret to me. Let me guess, MENSA members only?

How is it supposed to be a secret society when your broadcasting it..also how would it work exactly?

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

I mean it's really not that bad idea except whenever I hear the term secret society I think of a bunch of trust fund babies causing trouble and not much else. You could always just make a WSO group where the members who think people are contributing strongly and have a good chance of doing something decent with their life can get "inducted", go through a series of semi-homosexual rituals (kidding, elephant walks are sooo 2000 and late), and then the members of the group can try and help them through the process of getting into BBs/megafunds/tiger cubs/MBB etc on WS. Maybe more of a mentors program (much like the thread in the Get A Job forum, but instead of applicants, just pick who you think is worthy of tossing your salad).

Good luck with it

"2000 and late" is so 2000 and then.

 

The perfect secret society would be a secret society composed of members from other secret societies (Freemasons, Skull and Bones, etc). Then you'd have access to all of the most secret info.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?

haha guess im missing out. Though KKK (not that I support it, but its a secret society), and Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderburgs, etc, all need to be there as well.

freemasons...lol, in 1798 maybe

 

Wow... If there is such a secret society, I bet it's like the Stonecutters, complete with a Number 1 (who so happens to sound alot like Patrick Stewart) and the only way you can join is by being a child of a member or a by saving the life of a Stonecutter.

Oh, and over dinners at this secret meeting, I be the group breaks out into song much like this:

 

Freemasonry isn't really secret :-p

Hehe, seriously, there's a huge organization for Masonry. I was involved in the Methodist Church back in college and you find A LOT of people there who will smile and say , "no comment" when someone tells a joke about Masons threatening to burn down someone's house. It's more of a Midwestern thing than an Eastern or international organization, though it did start in Scotland. You'll find a number of Masonic temples sprinkled through small towns in the Midwest.

I think the organization is about as sinister as the Loyal Order of Moose. My understanding is that they do a lot of charitable work (Shriners hospitals) and are also an organization sometimes used for cutting business deals. Jack Chick disagrees with me, but he's a southern Baptist.

In any case, if you post that you're starting a secret org on the internet, it's probably not very secret anymore.

Also hope that when the Masons skim the internet to try and figure out whose house to burn down, that they'll note I'm not a member and I didn't have anything particularly nasty to say about them. :D
